Great video. Just found out there are rules of thumbs to almost every structural elements I can think of. Its amazing. This is really great content. I think you can make a series out of these video. A few structural members per video under 10 mins or more with simple worked examples. I had to pause a lot to write the rules down. Bless you for your efforts.
Hi Timo, I think every structural element will have some rule of thumb. Thanks for support. I also had the rules in the description work through the basics of a beam design would be good
Thanks for the videos Brendan, I've been looking for an Australian youtube channel in which I can definitely relate to. I'm a graduate civil engineer from Papua New Guinea and we adopt much of the AS/NZ standards and so far your videos have been really helpful! Please keep up the great work!
Dear Brendan, could you please produce a video on two way flat slab as to how to provide Min.reo over wall support, over Columns, adjacent to lift core and around perimeter of slab. Thank you
I like to see different standards to understand their considerations for the region and expand my knowledge, this rules could be different depend on the region as well right?
Hi TheSpec, thanks for watching. It would depend on loads, but it shouldn't change much between regions. Most codes are taken from similar places and build off each other, Australian codes take parts from ACI and EuroCodes.
Really cool video, I instantly saved it so I can easily find it in future. It would be really cool seeing this type of video applied to masonry. Keep up the good work and have a nice day Brendan, I'm already waiting for the next video ^^
@@BrendanHasty I know the code doesn’t allow for dowel action for beams, but what if you have residual capacity from bending and torsion of the beam? Could that be used for shear?
Brendan, thanks very much for sharing. I'm a structural engineer too. I actually work near you. I'm in South Bank. Hope to catchup with you some day. Cheers, Vance
Hi Thomas, I have had some experience with FRP. Typically the failure mechanism is brittle due to the FRP., so you have increased safety factors, typically you want to have your critical case as a ductile mechanism as the structure will give you warning signs when overloaded.
Hi Brendan, can you please explain what Wu is in the wind loads? We’re currently doing a project for steel structures. We’ve found the pressure thru 1170.2 but when it comes to Wu, it’s confusing as to what exactly are we gonna take it as… please explain.
Hi Ayush, thanks for watching. I will plan a video on wind design, but for code specific design it would be on my patrion as I think it wouldn't far well based on the effort required.
Brendan I am your fan from Africa. Your videos are always helpful. I have one Question regarding the spans. Which direction of the slab are we taking into consideration when we calculate. It is the highest side or the lowest or can we take a representative average of the 2 sides? Thanks in advance
Can you talk a little bit about secret beams /concealed beams /hidden beams... I see people using them indiscriminately to support slabs and it is causing a lot of slab failures meanwhile a drop beam would have been better.
Hi Sanjey, there should not be significant difference in earthquake design, of course there will be exceptions to these rule and hence you need to back them up with detailed calculations. But generally the rules should still hold.
Insightful Brenden. I really like the way you include lite comedy and variety in asking for the likes. I have couple of suggestions. Can you make a video on 1) Reinforcement detailing, like the length of bar, how it should be laid in normal and PT slabs etc. 2) Need a video on load distribution. keep going.
MAN I WISH I HAD THESE POSTS WHEN I WAS AT UNI .............. DEFINETLY MORE ENTERTAINING
Hi Omar, Hope they help now. Glad that it was Entertaining. Thanks for the support.
Yes....span........I definitely know what that means......PSH! Who doesn't know what span means???? Pff!

This is a gold mine here. It's not easy to find these sort of guidelines. Thank you for sharing and being a mentor
Hi Ibrahim, thank for the support. Glad that you found it useful.
Excellent video . Hope you will extend the rules of Thumb to the choice and preliminary design of different foundation types .
Hi mussie, thank for watching. There will be future videos expanding more rules of thumbs thanks for the suggestion.

Hi John glad that I could help. Hope to keep delivering. Papua New Guinea would have some big earthquake design requirements.
Thank You Sir 😊😊😁

As a recently graduated engineer sifting through interviews, this is the type of informative and relevant content I need. thank you
Hi PEiN, Congrautations on Graduating. glad that I could help.
👍🏻
Video was improved, keep it up dude
Thanks for watching, and support.
Really cool video, I instantly saved it so I can easily find it in future. It would be really cool seeing this type of video applied to masonry.
Keep up the good work and have a nice day Brendan, I'm already waiting for the next video ^^
Hi Tonio, I will add masonry to the list, thanks for the suggestion. Your continued support and comments really help thanks
why cant we consider the dowel action of longitudinal reinforcement in RC beams for shear?
You can in column design, but beam design it is hard as it serves several processes.
@@BrendanHasty I know the code doesn’t allow for dowel action for beams, but what if you have residual capacity from bending and torsion of the beam? Could that be used for shear?
Awsome quality content 🙂
Thanks thirupathi

Hi Van, glad to hear from a fellow Melbourian. Thanks for the support.
At Big K calculation, what unit we have to use? To have a better understanding? (Brazillian Engineer here, sorry for english mistakes)
Hi Eduardo, it is in mm. your English is amazing no need to apologies. thanks for the support.
Do you have any experience with substituting steel rebar, with FRP bar? Is that something you could talk about?
Hi Thomas, I have had some experience with FRP. Typically the failure mechanism is brittle due to the FRP., so you have increased safety factors, typically you want to have your critical case as a ductile mechanism as the structure will give you warning signs when overloaded.

Hi Natneal, it will be the smallest side, structure will move the the stiffest path which will be the shortest direction.
Can you talk a little bit about secret beams /concealed beams /hidden beams... I see people using them indiscriminately to support slabs and it is causing a lot of slab failures meanwhile a drop beam would have been better.
Hi Michael thanks for watching. by concealed beams do you mean columns strips in twoway slab design?
Appreciate this video. Would there be a significant difference in these values when it comes to earthquake designs?
Hi Sanjey, there should not be significant difference in earthquake design, of course there will be exceptions to these rule and hence you need to back them up with detailed calculations. But generally the rules should still hold.
Very helpful video. Keep up the good work Brendan 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your support!
Great video honestly, thanks for your efforts to bring us these videos 🙏🏼💯🔥

Hi deepak, your support helps so much. I will add these videos to the list.
Good day. What are titles and authors of those three books?
Are these rules of thumb in any book/document/Eurocode? Love your videos man!
Hi Samuel you do not seem to find them is many books but you apply across most codes.
Really appreciate the effort of replying to every single comment you have 👍🏻
Thanks a lot for releasing this video , very helpful.
Hi Brooks, glad that you found it helpful.
Hi Brendan,
I should say you are a legend for us. Really appreciate your help.
Hi Prabin, thanks for your support. Hope to keep delivering.
Love your videos. Wish there were somebody like this in the civil site engineering industry
